Missed most of the first round games but definitely gonna tune in for this one
No. 9 Kansas State vs. No. 16 UMBC
7:45 p.m., Charlotte, N.C., South Region
Player to watch: K-State's leading scorer, Dean Wade, sat out Friday's win over Creighton because of a foot injury, but the Wildcats are hoping he will be able to return Sunday. The All-Big 12 forward is a difference-maker whom the Wildcats will definitely need on the floor to stymie this snowballing UMBC surge.
What will keep Kansas State from moving on: Fate? Destiny? But above all, a second half from UMBC like the one it delivered Friday. The Retrievers scored 53 points after halftime against Virginia, which came into the tournament with the nation's No. 1-rated defense. Can the Retrievers replicate such a magical performance? The college basketball world -- well, outside Manhattan, Kansas -- will be pulling for it.
